60+ Bushcraft Skills & Survival Tips

This is a compilation of all of my survival/bushcraft tips from the past year! Working on some new ones now for 2024 👍🏻

On kindling and tender gathering, Uncle Bill taught me at a very young age that "If it don't snap, it's crap". I've remembered that for 6 decades because getting to say "crap", as an 8YO, was a big deal, 60 years ago. LOL!

Luke the outdoorsman. First a foremost this is a wholesome channel. Real life challenges met with enthusiasm, persistence and completely appropriate for anyone. Luke takes us places, he lives responsibly off of the land and is a steward for this planet showing us species of birds, mammals, fish as well as a love for cooking and eating. He's survived at great risk for the entertainment of all who watch. I love he takes survival casually. He doesn't preach but recommends trying new things safely and responsibly.

The only best entertainment on YouTube, you deserve million likes

I found gathering up wet twigs can be useful if you put them by a fire to dry and use later. Also just gathering them to keep in your basecamp if you have one set up in the woods is good for later use too

I've been bushcrafting for about 40 years mostly in South africa ,and uk ,I've watched countless videos on the subject, too many American ones and am glad to see a straightforward, well edited comprehensive video that covers the basics for not only experienced bushcrafters but anybody wishing to enjoy the outdoors in this way ,enjoyable to watch ,keep it up and best wishes for 2024

Excellent video, had a couple of nuggets I hadn't considered before. I particularly like the tip of putting a horizontal stick under the kindling so you can raise and lower it for better air flow.

So much value in one hour. Thank you.

Doing it all the hard way. Simple, minimalist, highly effective, and not for the lazy. Much love from Spokane Washington USA.

Without a doubt one of the best vids on the subject. Not pretentious, practical and straight to the point. Excellent. Thank you.

TA OUTDOORS IS THE REAL DEAL ! Yes sir yes mamm !👍

That soaked silver Birch bark is truly impressive, I hadn't known that it would still light even if saturated. 😮

Thank you for these videos! I finally was able to get out and go winter camping. Found a campsite that was buried in 2ft of snow but still free use. I definitely struggled to get a fire going with the wood around, but then remembered some of the tips you gave for finding wood and making a bed. Worked like a charm! Appreciate you.

Excellent video with great tips ! Thanks Mike !

I bought a bag of those "portawipes" a while ago. Love them! They weren't called "portawipes" on my package, but is the same thing you showed. The package also came with a plastic tube to store about 10 of them, to put in your pocket or backpack, etc. I was surprised how big the sheets were when they were opened up after wetting them.

One of the things a gaffer may be ordered to do is place a smaller generator several 100 feet from the camera to control noise but still give power to the immediate set, here you show how well prepared you are as a gaffer because you have a 2 foot rod-- ideally copper coated when they clamp on top so that you can run a small piece of wire hopefully green colored... From the generator frame to the top of your rod driven into some moist earth.. If you have a ground at the generator and and maybe off the frame of the lights tripod, then you're grounded on both ends for terrific safety, Are you sure the guy who hires crew see that you carry these little rods. Careful friend I know and eating his drumstick lines and to save junk on the set he took the bone into his toolkit on his belt. Very impressive the next set required some chicken bones on a plate in front of an actor. My friend whipped out the bones from his kit and was a hero saving the hours of some helper driving around finding chicken bones. gaffers can't win like that all the time but they better have a roll of gaffers tape on their tool belt. If you like to brown nose as a little helper on the movie set,
